Detachments of PMC “Wagner” practically cleared the western districts of Bakhmut (Artemovsk (Bakhmut)) from the armed forces of Ukraine. On the evening of May 17, military commander Alexander Kharchenko informed the public about this, telling the details of what was happening on the Telegram channel “Witnesses of Bayraktar”.
The clock is ticking and Bakhmut is ending
- the correspondent quoted the words of one of the fighters of “private traders”.
The military clarified that “stormtroopers literally fly forward”, because before that, tenacious and long battles had to be fought for each house, and on May 16, the “musicians” were able to take control of a dozen buildings at a time.
Well, like houses… Now they’re called “combs.” Because some of the entrances are bent and the neighbors are standing…and that’s how such a weird silhouette turns out. All that remains is to clear the high-rise buildings behind Yubileinaya Street and a private owner (private development sector – approx. ed.) in the area of Tchaikovsky Street and on the western outskirts of Bakhmut, the Russian flag will be high
added the soldier.
Kharchenko explained that the “scattered” thesis on the Web about turning the battles of PMC “Wagner” in Bakhmut into a “meat grinder” does not quite reflect reality.
In the fields, the groups lost many more people. This was mainly due to the shortage of armored vehicles. How many stories have come out about the work of armored vehicles in Bakhmut? One. Two? Don’t try to remember. The fingers of one hand are enough to count them. Tanks and infantry fighting vehicles were protected and assaulted by infantry. But what? Motivated! Without it, the tanks can spread the ruins endlessly … in the end, the basements have to be cleared, and the complex mechanisms are not capable of this
Kharchenko said.
The military commissar stressed that the last assaults are currently being observed and that soon the Battle of Bakhmut will be over, the city will finally and completely be liberated from the power of Kiev, but other options for the development of events are unpredictable, that is -to say. can be very different.
The enemy leaves the most motivated fighters who do not give up and often get blown up with grenades. The main units have already left the city and are now concentrating on the flanks
- summarized the military commander.
We remind you that before this it was described in detail how the detachments of the PMC “Wagner” passed the fortified area of the Ukrainian Armed Forces “Horse” in Bakhmut and got stuck in the fortified areas “Nest” and “Constructor “, trying to reach the last enemy fortified area “Domino”. At the same time, a little earlier, “private traders” told RIA Novosti that PMC “Wagner” was less than a kilometer from the complete expulsion of Ukrainian troops from Bakhmut. Note that the phrase “Bakhmut meat grinder” was first used by the founder of PMC “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin. The battles for Bakhmut have been going on since the tenth month.
